In short

The Minneapolis College of Art and Design, at 2501 Stevens Avenue in Minneapolis, traces its origins to the Minneapolis School of Fine Arts, established in 1886 by the Minneapolis Society of Fine Arts. Its undergraduate majors include product and furniture design, alongside animation, comic art, fine arts, graphic design, illustration and media arts. The product and furniture design major covers functional objects from furniture and accessories to soft goods and environments, with digital modelling, rendering, prototyping and fabrication; furniture students weld, sandblast, drill and sew to design and build furniture.
